Another way to say that is to match the new m5 at 560hp the xm5/6 would need 710 hp-quite a signifigant difference.
However the big disapointment is in the acceleration. The e60 obliterated the e39m5 and this is a marginal increase in acceleration especially considering the e60 is a good 400 pounds lighter putting the total equivelent power within 20hp of each other. Better gas mileage sure but not a big difference.
Compared to the e39 which the e60 weighed the same however got 105 more hp. Disapointment however the e60 and s85 was so ahead of its time, it really was hard to improve on.

so gaining 170lbs of torque isn't improving?
